I managed to pick up an extra HISS V at Tuesday Mornings for cheap and with some other parts, I updated my Retalliation HISS.

Sorry about the crappy pictures as I don't have my good camera today.  I'll reshoot and post more pics later when I have that camera including a side by side with my black HISS V.

I added the red HISS V tracks to the brown V5 lower half and modded the upper half to fit.
Additionally, I added the chin gun from a red HISS V to the rear so it has some rear protection/firepower and I added the rear cage onto the Retalliation one as well.
Lastly, I modded a V5 interior into the Retalliation one. Hope you guys like it.

I forgot the side guns in the first few pics:

Now that I like. 

How did you add the tread? Did you have to cut the plastic?

Thanks.  Basically I opened it up and took out the connector piece and then cut the hole so it'll be large enough to accept the V5 connector piece and put that in there when I closed it back up.  The cockpit edges were slightly wider than the Retalliation one too so I had to trim the sides of the interior cockpit/seat before I can put it in.  The rear gun, I just cut a hole and taped the mounting port from the V5 into position.  For the cage in the rear, I had to drill a matching hole on the other side (the Retalliation one filled that hole) and modded the actual mounting point of the cage so it would fit.

Here's some new clearer pics with comparisons to the HISS V5







Inside under the rear turret.  I basically taped the bar in place so it wouldn't move for the rear lower gun.



Together with my V5:

Your tank looks better then the retail version for sure.

Thanks to Fesifisky from HISSTANK.com who painted the canopy, now I have the HISS V5 I always wanted.  Now both my HISS tanks have the glass canopy and rubber treads.
